Welcome back to A Thousand Natural Shocks, A Bad With Money podcast.

I'm your host Gabe Dunn.

And with me today, we have Ida, who is running for city attorney in 2026 in Los Angeles.

I met Ida through Instagram because I saw her commenting on a lot of progressive pages.

And anytime somebody is running for office and I can see that in their handle, I click and I want to know what they're about.

And we grabbed a coffee and I just really enjoyed her unabashed commitment to the causes that she's been working on for years and years.

I'll give you an example.

She sent me testimony that she had given against a Chevron plant in El Segundo.

And she gave all of these, it's like at a city council, I think, and she gave all of these reasons.

And the audio shows that she is saying, you know, this is not going to be good for us and is

giving warnings based on her research and all of that. And about a month ago, that same

Chevron plant in El Segundo exploded. And so I messaged her about that because she had sent

me that audio.

And I was like, oh, my God.

I think literally it was like years ago.

And so that also caused me to be intrigued by how committed she has been to this work.

And then on top of that, I had been going to city council and this is not Ida saying this.

I'm saying this.

And she is not, this is not her opinion.

This is mine.

The current city attorney sucks.

And I have dealt a lot with her underlings at city council. They don't care. They don't listen. They suck. So I was very interested in what a city attorney actually does and what Ida's plan is for that. So take a listen. Again, this is just my opinion, but she's a really cool activist, and you should know what your city attorney is doing because they have a lot of power.
